Characteristics of towbars Berkshire

Posted by Johny Dean on May 28th, 2015

A towbar is a device that is attached to the back of a vehicle with the purpose of towing another vehicle that has momentarily ran out of gas, presents a mechanical failure, or is simply designed to be towed by powered vehicles. To learn more about the characteristics of towbars Berkshire or towbars Hampshire, please read on.

Towbars can tow any type of vehicle, being it small or large. Therefore, they are manufactured from very resistant materials. The exact maximum towing capacity that a towbar can withstand is clearly mentioned by the manufacturer of each towbar. The responsibility of the person that uses the towbar is to avoid the maximum weight, because this way, they can lose the warranty they got for the towbar, and possibly damage the vehicle.

Towbars feature usually the same components: a tow ball, ball couplings, ball spacers, mounting accessories and anti-shock mounts, bolts, nuts, and covers. Each of these pieces can be separately replaced, if it gets damaged, without having to replace the entire towbar. To make the towbar work properly, the component that is replaced must be compatible with the rest of the components.

All towbars Berkshire and towbars Hampshire come with guarantee against faulty parts and workmanship. This does not cover wear and tear or the misuse of electrical sockets. The guarantee is usually offered for the entire lifetime of the products, if the products are installed by the representatives of the company that sells them. However, electrical installations are guaranteed for only just one year from date of invoice.

Some towbars require a bumper cut, while others do not need this; it all depends on the design of the vehicle and also the type of towbar selected. Vehicles that feature just a small aperture and that will soon have a a swan neck towbar installed may require a bumper cut to allow the towbar to be mounted.

Vehicle owners who have cars like this do not have to worry about the cut that will be performed, because some towbar manufacturers offer covers designed especially for these particular cases. Also, there are manufacturers that supply a bumper insert that eases the task of the towbar fitter and that does not affect the vehicle in any way.

Usually, towbars do not interfere with parking sensors. However, towbar manufacturers and sellers do not offer a 100% guarantee, because some sensors are fitted aftermarket. To make sure the new device installed on your vehicle would not interfere with parking sensors, always buy original components and address authorised professionals to install them.
